Explore Our Forklifts
The key highlights over the past seven years since I’ve been at Masslift have been the personal and professional growth I’ve experienced at the company. I started as a Service Controller and worked my way up to the role of Regional Service Manager. Reaching that “big seat” was a key goal of mine when I first joined Masslift, and I’ve been able to achieve it through my hard work and dedication.
What also stands out is not just the progress I’ve made, but the continuous recognition of my efforts, developments and training from within and the opportunities to take on more senior responsibilities. Being trusted in all these different roles throughout the years is a major highlight of my journey. By winning an Award last year, it epitomised the company’s commitment to recognising and supporting its staff.
Above all, the key highlight is the support from colleagues and leaders. I have enjoyed the lessons, advice and mentorship I have received from various Ninjas within the company. Without their trust and encouragement, I would not be where I am today.
Operations and Service Excellence keeps me on my toes with all the challenges I have daily and keeps the fire burning! This all comes down to the great company culture and the great people we have in this organisation.
